It was quite subtle.

He was describing how there was a swastika on an R2-D2 toy. This toy had been manufactured in Japan. And I simply said that the swastika symbol is also like this other luck symbol in Japanese culture I believe but I'm not well-versed on it. And he just really didn't want me honing in on his story.

And then Punk harassed him during and after the panel. You guys are both on the banned list...

Thank you! :hi5: I figured either put the money toward that, or buy more statues. I think I chose wisely...



Soooo, on Thursday I'm going on a date with the girl who has a boyfriend. Yep, I don't listen to advice well... I'll let you all know how that goes... She loved the valentines card I make for her. I was really worried about that one... I know I'm an idiot. But I have no other prospects, and really do enjoy talking to her. We shall see how that goes...

Does she know its a date? Serious question. She is openly cheating that is another red flag. Though your judgement is more than ours as you're around her everyday.

LOL...people often do what they *want* to do, rather than what they *should*. That includes me. Anyway, hope the outcome is positive for you, but you know I'd advise extreme caution.

So...this is definitely a date-date and not a 'friendly date'?

When I was younger and even stupider than I am now, I got involved with a girl I was really attracted to. She cheated on her boyfriend with me, broke it off with him to be with me.

Except in the beginning of *our* relationship she lied to me and cheated on me. When I found out I broke it off with her.

I then found out from a mutual friend she cheated on her *next* boyfriend.

Otherwise a really nice girl. Except for the lying and cheating thing. :dunno

Anyway, that'll learn me.

You are both wise. She asked me if I'd like to go out with her Thursday night. The word date was never used. So it's quite possible that in her eyes it is not a date. And truthfully, I have no intention of treating it as a date, unless I find out the boyfriend is no more. For now, we're just going to go out and have a good time. I will not do anything more than a hug (but lemme tell ya, the last time I saw her, she gave me the best hug I have ever had).

I haven't seen her in 3 weeks. The play ended the day before the Super Bowl, and then I was sick for 2 weeks. This past week she's been really busy at work. I haven't spoken to her all week, until today.

I am NOT fooling myself into thinking we have a relationship. Sure, in the back of my mind, I wish it. But I'm not going to force that to happen. It is just wishful thinking, for now...

Bring a tub of popcorn.

I've never admittedly been on this end of things but am a romantic at heart so could never dissuade someone if they felt a connection like this. Those are rare.

I edited my post with my real take on the situation, but surely you've either seen Diner or know the gag. Mickey Rourke did pull off the trick expertly though.

I haven't seen Diner in like 20 years, so I don't remember the gag...

EDIT: I just watched it on Youtube. That brought back memories! Yeah, Rourke did pull that off expertly! :lol

I do value everyone's feedback in here. I wouldn't be posting about it, if I didn't want to hear other's opinions. Even though I haven't exactly followed the advice I've received, I do plan to proceed with caution. I can't turn my back on her. This is the strongest connection I've felt in many years, perhaps ever. But obviously in order for things to progress, if that is meant to happen, she needs to leave the other guy. And she needs to do so because she wants to. But that is thinking too far ahead. One step at a time. I'll see how Thursday goes first...

Isn't it also an old Indian symbol meaning peace?
 
The Oscars last night was interesting. Despite the upsets, I got 16 of the 24 correct. But that Best Picture fiasco was hilarious...

That was crazy and awkward :lol And some people are trying to put it squarely on Warren Beatty. It wasn't his fault someone gave him the wrong envelope.

I think i got 18 which isn't bad considering i haven't seen most of the nominees yet, sadly :(
